The Ninth

Don’t miss this magnificent performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. Matthias Maute conducts.

Experience the “Ode To Joy” and its powerful message of peace, hope and a brighter future sung by four brilliant soloists: Bethany Hörst, soprano, Sophie Louise Roland, mezzo-soprano, Bud Roach, tenor, and Giles Tomkins, bass, along with 200 singers from the Amabile Choirs of London, The London Singers, and the H.B. Beal Secondary School Singers. The concert opens very fittingly with Ambe, an Ojibway welcoming song by Andrew Balfour, a Winnipeg-based composer of Cree descent.
Recorded live at Metropolitan United, London, Ontario, October 14, 2023.
